I just reset my Security Questions and my primary Apple ID E-mail, with an old iPhone 5s!


So I thought I was forever locked out of my beloved Apple Account that I’ve had since the dawn of time, when MobileMe was still a thing.

Because I lost access to my ISP Mail which I should have never been using in the first place, And forgot all the security questions I had put in

I went to Iforgot.Apple.Com and was surprised to see my Old Iphone 5s (Running IOS 8.1) was displayed as an option to wipe my security codes, and thus be able to change the accounts primary email to something other than ISP mail.

I was whole-heartily surprised that my barely functional POS (Compared to today’s stuff) iPhone 5S 64GB would still be registered to work with Apple and its Accounts after all these years. I simply connected it to Wifi and it got sent a magic code prompt dialog.

Way to go for Apple still supporting this Legacy device after all these years, and the legacy IOS 8 as well.
The only Application that still logs in and functions correctly on IOS 8 is a virtual to-do list aid which I highly recommend called “Remember The Milk” it used to be on the App Store!

For what it’s worth.

Anyway,
Have a great weekend.
